Job Description

The HQ Global Process Engineering Authority (GPEA) for Special Processes & Material Integrity is the enterprise-wide technical authority for GE Vernova’s structural reliability and material validation framework, supporting Power, Wind, and Electrification across +130 manufacturing facilities.

Key Responsibilities

Standards Governance: Synthesize, author, and govern the 1P1P standards using existing templates (e.g., Global Technical Equipment Specifications (TES), Manufacturing Process Standards (MPS), Automation Process Standards (APS), Request for Quote (RFQ), etc.) for all Special Process subclasses (Taxonomy 0_0 Heat Treat, 0_1 NDT, 0_3 Metlab, 3_0 through 4_1).
Integrity Process Optimization: Define the technical standards for the alignment of bonding processes (Thermal Fusion, Non-Fusion, Chemical Bonding, Taping) and protective treatments (Coating, Surface Treatment) with validation methods (NDT, Metlab) to ensure a closed-loop structural integrity flow.
Locked Configuration Management: Evaluate successful business-level innovations in thermal processing, automated NDT, or coating application and codify them into Locked Configurations to enable rapid enterprise-wide deployment and capital efficiency.
Material Health Standards: Establish and enforce equipment capability standards to ensure new assets across the +130 facilities are capable of meeting the rigorous structural requirements for next-generation Vernova products.
Validation Technology Integration: Architect the enterprise strategy for transitioning from manual inspection to automated, data-driven NDT and Metlab processes to increase detection reliability, ensure metallurgical health, and reduce cycle time.
SQDC Orchestration: Collaborate with Business GPELs and Factory LPEAs to translate material health data into measurable improvements in Safety (Structural Reliability), Quality (First Pass Yield / Defect Reduction), Delivery (Inspection Velocity), and Cost (Rework Reduction).
P&E Strategic Authority: Act as the final technical authority for enterprise-wide special process and validation investments, ensuring alignment with the 1P1P global taxonomy.

Requirements

Education & Experience: Bachelor’s Degree in Materials Science, Metallurgical, or Chemical Engineering OR a minimum of 15 years of extensive industrial experience in special processes (Welding, Coatings, or Heat Treat) and material validation, with demonstrated success in developing and engineering material integrity solutions in complex, multi-site technical manufacturing environments.
Core Industrial Experience: Minimum of 10 years of industrial experience in special processes or non-destructive testing (e.g., Power Generation, Aerospace, or Heavy Industrial fabrication), including a Global Technical Lead or Enterprise Scaling capacity across multiple manufacturing sites.
Technical Proficiency: Deep expertise in thermal fusion, chemical bonding, heat treatment, and non-destructive testing (NDT) methodologies, with a strong understanding of metallurgical health and structural failure modes.
Systemic Knowledge: Proficiency in international standards (e.g., AWS, ASME, ISO, Nadcap) and the ability to bridge the gap between material science requirements and shop-floor manufacturing execution.
Standardization Expertise: Proven history of developing and enforcing technical standards for equipment procurement and process health that have successfully scaled globally.
Systemic Knowledge: Proficiency in interpreting complex design requirements and the ability to bridge the gap between engineering specifications and the physical integration/test environment.
Standardization Expertise: Proven history of developing and enforcing technical standards for integration equipment and facility-level health that have successfully scaled globally.
Experience using CAD/CAM software like NX, SolidWorks, MasterCAM, Predator, and Vericut
The ability to create manufacturing, electro-mechanical, and automation standards (hardware, process, and qualification).
Ability to interpret blueprints, specifications, drawings, and schematics
Project Management skills and experience
Direct leadership experience of both professional and production employees.
